Hi

We have a Latitude D600 and a Latitude D610 and the thing i cant work out is when battery is on 600 we get 4hrs but when put on 610 its only half that but showing full charge on both machines
there is a massive difference in battery life to both systems, if i use the same battery ie on the 600 i get 3hrs 50m and on the 610 i get 50mins.
The systems are similar ie both have same amount of ram, same hard drive. and processers are slightly different as 600 has 1.4 pentium m and 610 is running a 1.86 centrino both on xp pro.
The ram is ddr2 on 610 i would think.
Software is similar except 610 has dell quickset and i need to update bios on 610 as its running version 3 and version 6 is out now.
